Baltimore Ravens LB Arthur Brown is unlikely to be traded, according to sources, but there has been interest from other teams. "Trade rumors, I didn't think too much of it," Brown said Tuesday, Sept. 9. "I didn't know how valid it was. Somebody from the staff told me it was just a rumor and there was some interest and they would listen, but I wasn't necessarily on the trading block."

Baltimore Ravens LB Arthur Brown has been the subject of trade rumors, according to league sources. Brown was a healthy inactive in Week 1 after appearing in 14 games as a rookie last year without a start.

Baltimore Ravens LB Jameel McClain (spine) has not received medical clearance to play yet. McClain likely is a leading candidate for win of the starting inside linebacker jobs if he is healthy. If McClain is not ready to play, LBs Daryl Smith and Arthur Brown would be the starting inside linebackers.

Fantasy Tip: McClain will start if healthy, but the other three are in competition for the other side's top role. It looks like Baltimore has acquired surprisingly reliable depth, though, and there's a better chance of them being fantasy-relevant in a fringe-starter role.

Baltimore Ravens LB Arthur Brown (hernia) said he is on schedule to fully participate once training camp begins. He was able to participate in team drills during minicamp but could not participate in a full practice.

Baltimore Ravens LB Arthur Brown (hernia) was able to participate in some individual and team drills during organized team activities Thursday, June 6. He said he is still recovering from his sports hernia surgery.

Baltimore Ravens LB Josh Bynes has been working with the first-team defense at inside linebacker during organized team activities this week and hopes to compete for a starting job during training camp. He has been getting a lot of reps at inside linebacker because LBs Arthur Brown (hernia) and Jameel McClain (spine) are not able to practice.

Baltimore Ravens LB Arthur Brown (hernia), who is expected to be ready for training camp in July, is projected to be one of the team's two starting inside linebackers this year. Brown's surgery to fix a sports hernia shouldn't change that.
